From the photo this is a deep purulent infected wound; the white layer is dead tissue and pus attached to the surface.
Treatment requires debridement and dressing changes plus systemic antibiotics to stop the infection deepening or causing sepsis.
Necrotic tissue cannot be fully cleared at home; for faster healing take the rabbit to a hospital for professional debridement under sedation.
Clinically the wound is cleaned of pus with peroxide and iodine, dead skin excised and fresh tissue stitched; apply healing and antibiotic ointment daily, with oral or IV medication if inflammation is severe.
